here is are some of the “fishes” I had caught yesterday:

That's an impressive haul of fish. Some look quite cute, others look rather dangerous.

Somehow today when playing sao if I helped a new player who was probably a little kid get started in the game lol. I just showed him how to understand what to do to do the msq but it took way longer than I thought it would and I feel a bit tired now lol

Looking at a couple new gaming-related news stories as I go into the weekend..

First is the latest Steam hardware lineup looks pretty solid.  I will definitely be looking forward to reviews, especially of the headset.  (Edit: I've already found one.)  No word on prices yet.

Second is the "playable" alpha release of Kitten Space Agency.  I was (and still am) a big fan of the original Kerbal Space Program so I'm definitely going to check this out if I can.  Unfortunately it doesn't run on linux and it reportedly has issues with AMD GPUs so I won't be running it on my Linux/Radeon system.  It's also a demo of an alpha at this point.  But at least they're giving fans something to fiddle with.  I'm sure there will be plenty of 'Tubies to look at.

Played some osu and grandblue today

This morning I decided that I needed to play Rimworld.  I haven't played it in a while and thought it sounded like fun.

About 2 hours in I decided that I was wrong.  More a me problem than with the game.  I've played it before and usually enjoy it a lot.  But Rimwold is one of those games that requires planning and keeping track of a lot of details at once and for some reason my brain did not want to engage today.  I kept having to scramble to deal with events that I should have been more prepared for.  Maybe I should have tried a lower difficulty level.  Or gone with something simple like Stardew Valley.

Played a bit of minecraft with relatives in Wisconsin.  Building a large fortified town or some sort of bastide around a village we found.  Carcassonne comes to mind, though the design of the walls is straight from the imagination of my SIL.  My brother and I were building shops and homes for the villagers inside while she worked on the walls.  Going to have probably a couple dozen villagers when we're done.  (That's if the lag doesn't get us first.   )  Once we get all of them placed and leveled up this is going to be a lively place.

We're not strapping the villagers down like you seen in most "trading hall" designs on youtube or twitch either.  We're trying to build sectors within the town where the villagers are free to wander and mingle a bit while still keeping the villagers confined enough to not lose track of their beds or profession blocks.  Kind of a tricky balance given minecraft village mechanics, but it'll be cool if we can pull it off.

There's a trial chamber right underneath where I was standing to take this screenshot too, so there's a "dungeon" to go adventuring in nearby.

I've had Ryuji learn First for the melee skills, now I'm working on Duel, Speed, Guide, and Stun. It's a slow grind, but totally worth it.
